| Certificates: Informatics and Modeling, Molecular Biophysics |
This course is a comprehensive survey of the molecules and molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes. The biomacromolecules--DNA, RNA and proteins--will be analyzed critically to emphasize the principles that define their structure, function and interactions. Molecular information from viral, procaryotic and eucaryotic systems will be discussed with regard to topics such as DNA replication, genome organization, gene rearrangements, transcription, translation, regulation of gene activity, cellular differentiation and tumorigenesis. |

Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
This course is intended to be the final course in the normal "core curriculum" sequence of BIOL/MB&B-181, 182 and MB&B208. It is strongly suggested that the student have completed, or be in the process of completing, at least one year of chemistry. It is preferable to have taken CHEM141, 142 or CHEM143, 144, and to be in the process of taking CHEM251. |
